It started with a flight to Senegal on day 1, then training and orientation over 12 days, a flight back to Freetown with a few days to prepare for an executive visit, meeting with high level government officials, the President of Sierra Leone announcing the Global Mercy’s visit in 2023, a few days to prepare for another visit, welcoming team members for the 3 week long assessment visit, and now engaging with (future) partners to listen and learn about the health system, to inform our program design.
I’ll write more once the assessment visit has come to an end! For now, I’m grateful and excited.
